[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 638976, member: 6370"] I think that it's important to take into consideration the ethnic differences of some who come here from other countries for advice. I remember in particular a young woman who had taken refuge in a nation not her own. A family member was disruptive as well as violent on occasion. None of us could understand why they put up with this behavior and she was frequently advised to just walk away from their turmoil. She pm'ed me that she was from Bosnia. The war had made her family flee. I had followed the horrors brought on by the breaking apart of Yugoslavia because we considered adopting an orphan. Many Bosnians ended up in concentration camps run by the Serbs. Many families had lost multiple members to ethnic cleansing. That's why she couldn't turn her back on her own family. It would have been a betrayal. She didn't tell me anything other than her ethnicity. I had to figure out the rest. [/QUOTE]
